Specification of Letters-Patent.

Patented Oct. 2 4, 1916.

Application filed May26, 1915. Serial No. 30,685.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FREDERICK H. PERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Beverly, in the county of Essex and Statev of Massachusetts, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Implements for Inserting Malleable Material into ,theiFaces of Tools; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertainsto make and use the same.

This invention relates to an implement for inserting malleable material in tools, and

channeling machine, has a tool or feed point which works between the Welt and upperto feed the shoe, and also acts as a cutting block for the rounding knife. The feed point is provided with a strip of malleable material such as brass, lead or leather, which isplaced in the slot located in the cutting area of the rounding knife. The:

continued chopping action of the rounding knife serves to wear the malleable material" the face of the tool. andoften resulted in breaking the tool. The hammering method of driving brasses into feed points, further consumes a large amount of time of the operative.

The primary object of the present invention is to provide an implement which will overcome the objections referred to, and by which malleable or other material may be quickly and securely inserted in feedpoints or other tools.

In accordancewith this object, one feature of the -1nvent1on contemplates the provision in an implementfor inserting malle l able materla lsm. tools, of means for holding and supportmg the tool. and a'pressure jaw for forcing the material into the face of the tool. when supported. Thisand other fea-' tures of the invention relating to certain de- V1068, combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed, will be understood from an inspection of the accompanying drawings, and the following detailed description of the construction illustrated therein. V

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of an implement embodying the invention in its preferred form; Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the implement taken on the-line 2-2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a plan view of the feed point of a Goodyear universal rounding and channeling machine.

The invention is shown as embodied in an.

implement designed for pressing brasses into the feed points of the. rounding andchannelirg machine above referred to. This implement comprises ingeneral a base for supporting and holding the feed point, and a pressing lever by which the brasses are forced into the cutting slot of the feed point. The base 10 is provided with an anvil 12 for supporting the beveled end of a feed point, and a table 14 for supporting the rear end ofthe feed point. An adjuste ing screw. 16 is mounted in an abutment 18 formed integral with thebaselO in a posi-' ,tion to engage the-rear end of the feed point. This adjusting screw serves to position the feed point on the anvil and table 14, and also acts as an abutment to retain the feed point in position, and to receive the end thrust of the feed point during the pressing operation. The anvil 12 isconstructed'of hardened steel or similar mate'- rial, and is held in place in a slot 20 in the base 10 by means of a screw 22. The working face'of the anvil is inclinedto'correspond to the bevel of the feed point so that when a feed point 24 isin positicn on the anvil and table 14 ready for the insertion of a brass, itsinclined face 26 will exactly register with the face of the anvil. The

pressing lever 28 is pivotally mounted in the base 10, and has a pressing jaw 80 and a gage stop 32. The pressing jaw 30 is constructed ofhardened material, and is adapted to move over the anvil in the area occupied by the cutting slot 34 of the feed point when it is inposition on the base. The gage stop 32 is located in a position to engage the abutment lug 18 when the pressing lever is brought down withoutany feed point in place.

As shown in Fig. 1, a strip of brass 36 is placedin position over the cutting slot 84, ready to be forced in by the pressing jaw 30. The brass strip'has the same length a as the slot 34, and is slightly widerthan the slot 34, so that when the brass is forced into the slot 34, it will be securely fastened in position. These strips of brass can be prepared the same length as the slot 34, and may be quickly inserted into the slot without waste of material. t

In themachine illustrated in the drawings, the base 10 is cast" integral with a handle 38 and an attaching flange 40. The attaching flangeis used for mounting the implementon'a pedestal or bench to locate it in a convenient position for the operative, and the handle 38 is adapted to be used in cooperation with the pressing lever 28 while forcing the brass into the feed points. In some cases it may be preferable to omit the attaching flange 40 and use the implement as a bench tool.

such as lead, copper, etc., may be used, and" may be inserted by the above described implement. The implement is also well adapted for pressing strips of leather orv other fibrous material into the cutting slots of tools or other implements. The anvil 12 may be variously modified for supporting different types oftools.

V The nature and scope of the invention having been indicated, and the preferred embodiment of the invention having been I specifically described, what is claimed as new 18 I- 1. An implement for inserting malleable material into the faces of tools, having, in

combination, a base, an anvil having an inclined face for rigidly supporting a tool, an abutment on the base opposite the face to' engage the tool and receive the end thrust of the tool due to movement on the anvil, and a pressure jaw movable to and upon the portion of the tool supported on the anvil.

. 2. An implement for inserting malleable material into the faces of tools, having, in combination, a base, having an anvil for supporting the tooliand an adjustable abutment for positioning the tool, and a pressing lever having a jaw movable to press upon the portion of the tool supported on said anvil to insert malleable material into the tool.

3. An implement for inserting malleable material into the faces of tools, having, in

combination, a supporting lever, an anvil on the lever for supporting the tool, an abutment on the lever to engage the tool and hold it from movement on the anvil, and a pressure lever pivotally connected to the supporting lever and having a jaw for pressing against the portion of the tool supported on the-anvil, the faces of the anvil and the pressing jaw being angularly arranged when the pressure lever is in operation upon, the tool.

4. An implement for inserting malleable material into the faces of tools, having, in combination, a base for supporting a feed point having an anvil with an inclined face to support the beveled end of the feed point, an abutment for engaging the opposite end of the feed point, and a pressure jaw for cooperating with the anvil for pressing a brass into a slot in the face of the feed point.

5. An implement for inserting malleable material into the faces of tools, having, in combination, a base for supporting a feed point having an anvil with an inclined face to support the beveled end of the feed point, an abutment screw for engaging the other end-of the feed point, a pressing lever pivoted on the base and having a pressure jaw for cooperating with the anvil, and a stop for limiting its movement toward the base.

6. An implement for inserting brasses in feed points, having, in combination, a base for supporting a feed point having an anvil with an inclined face to support the beveled end of the feed point, and an adjusting screw for positioning the feed point and.

a pressing lever pivoted to the base, having a jaw movable over the anvil for forcing brasses into a cutting slot of the feed point.
